Greetings We had a great day sailing today. The weather started off a little cloudy but soon the sun was out and the wind came up. It was just the opposite of the day before with little wind and the wind we did have was blowing the wrong way. Todays picture is of our crew. Yes we have a crew this year. His name is Al and he does it all. Well not all the sailing but he is well versed in all the aspects of sailing and a joy to be around. Nelda is doing a great as well. She not only keeps us well fed but does a nice job setting the sails, handleling the lines and on her watch. Now that Nelda and I have people, even though it technically just a person, we are on watch 3 hours and off watch for 6. The extra rest is making the trip much more enjoyabe. Tonight is crystal clear and dark as there is no moon right now. It will come up about 3 am. There are billions of stars. In 48 hours we make it to our first stop, Turtle Bay. Thats it for tonight, Larry
